Since July, Elon Musk has donated $75 million to Super-PAC in support of Donald Trump

Elon Musk, the businessman of Tesla, SpaceX and the social network X, has donated 75 million dollars since last July to ‘Trump America PAC’, a Super-PAC in support of the electoral campaign of former US president and Republican candidate, Donald Trump.

The 53-year-old South African businessman is one of the most staunch supporters of the former president (2017-2021) and has completely turned in support of the MAGA movement (‘Make the United States Great Again’).

In addition, Musk accompanied Trump this month in the symbolic rally that the former president held in the small town of Butler (Pennsylvania), the same place where he was almost murdered on July 13.

Elon Musk contributes to Trump

The documents presented to the Federal Electoral Commission show that the founding tycoon of the aerospace company SpaceX has been increasing his donations since last July, the month in which he donated almost 15 million dollars to this Super-PAC.
In August, it gave 30 million dollars to the Super-PAC, the same amount as last September.

Meanwhile, the businessman, the richest man in the world, said today in X that he will be from this afternoon until next Monday in the key state of Pennsylvania giving a series of talks.

“If you want to attend one of my talks, you don’t have to pay the entrance fee. You just have to have signed our petition in support of freedom of expression and the right to bear arms and have voted in these elections,” Musk posted in X.

I would give him a position in the government

During Trump’s campaign event in Butler earlier this month, Musk said that “this will be the last election” if Trump does not win the November elections and asked to register to vote because, he added, “they are going to take away our right to vote.”

For his part, Trump has indicated that he will create a new position in his Administration for Musk, assuming he reaches the White House again.

In addition, the executive director of X, who for years had chosen to stay out of politics, has declared in the last year his open support for Donald Trump until he became a great donor to his campaign.

Marco Rubio warns Venezuela against military action against Guyana

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Venezuela on Thursday that a military attack on Guyana would be “a big mistake” and “a very bad day for them,” expressing his support for Georgetown in its territorial dispute with Caracas.

“It would be a very bad day for the Venezuelan regime if they attacked Guyana or ExxonMobil. It would be a very bad day, a very bad week for them, and it would not end well,” Rubio emphasized during a press conference in Georgetown alongside Guyanese President Irfaan Ali.

Ecuador oil spill worsens as containment dam collapses

The collapse of a containment dam holding back part of the 25,000+ barrels of oil spilled from a pipeline rupture nearly two weeks ago has worsened the environmental crisis in northwestern Ecuador, contaminating rivers and Pacific beaches.

The Ecuadorian government attributed the March 13 pipeline rupture—which led to the spill of 25,116 barrels of crude—to an act of sabotage. The spill affected three rivers and disrupted water supplies for several communities, according to authorities.

On Tuesday, due to heavy rains that have been falling since January, a containment dam on the Caple River collapsed. The Caple connects to other waterways in Esmeraldas Province, a coastal region bordering Colombia, state-owned Petroecuador said in a statement on Wednesday.

Seven containment barriers were installed in the Viche River, where crews worked to remove oil-contaminated debris. Additional absorbent materials were deployed in Caple, Viche, and Esmeraldas Rivers, which flow into the Pacific Ocean.

Authorities are also working to protect a wildlife refuge home to more than 250 species, including otters, howler monkeys, armadillos, frigatebirds, and pelicans.

“This has been a total disaster,” said Ronald Ruiz, a leader in the Cube community, where the dam was located. He explained that the harsh winter rains caused river levels to rise, bringing debris that broke the containment barriersthat were holding the accumulated oil for extraction.

Federal court blocks Trump’s use of Enemy Alien Act for deportations

A federal appeals court upheld the block on former President Donald Trump’s use of the Enemy Alien Act on Wednesday, preventing him from using the law to expedite deportations of alleged members of the transnational criminal group Tren de Aragua.

With a 2-1 ruling, a panel from the Washington, D.C. Court of Appeals affirmed previous decisions by two lower court judges, maintaining the legal standoff between the White House and the judiciary.

On March 14, Trump invoked the 1798 Enemy Alien Act, a law traditionally used during wartime, to deport hundreds of Venezuelans whom he accused of belonging to Tren de Aragua, a criminal organization that originated in Venezuelan prisons.

The centuries-old law grants the president the power to detain, restrict, and expel foreign nationals from a country engaged in a “declared war” or an “invasion or predatory incursion” against the United States, following a public proclamation.
